The Financial Outlook.

WASHINGTON, June Tt is an interesting
financial fact that the large pension and interest
disbursements charged by the Treasury book
keepers to the accounts for May were not actu-
ally paid out until the current month. In view
of this fact, and expenditures soon to be made
Treasury officers do not contemplate any fnan-
cial stringency. After July l, they say. 49,
900, 900 of remaining 3per-cent. bonds are to be
redeemed. About millions of dollars
interest on 4-per-cenl bonds-is to be paid, be-
sides the expenditures of the increased appro-
prations incident to the beginning of each new
fiscal year. These officers feel justified in pre-
dieting that during July and part of August,
at least, there will not be a withdrawal of
m onev from circulation greater than the amount
to be paid out

draw from the knights of Labor.
Boston. June 7.-Several hundred delegates
to the great boot and shoe-workers' convention
in Brockton arrived here yesterday. They como
from all parts of the country, the largest delega-
tions representing New York, Cincinnati, Phila-
delphia and Chicago. The feeling Is general
that national organization is necessary, and
that the entire control of their affairs should be
in their own hands, independent of the Knights
of Labor The only question is as to the abil-
ity of the present convention to secure a ma
tional trades charter from the executive board.
NJ. J. Fogarty. master workman of 70 trades dis
trict, said he thought that the convention would
be the means of uniting all the various organi-
cations of the craft. He did not think there
would be any difficulty in obtaining a national
trades charter from the general executive
board. The members of the executive board
when approached on the subject, ne said, seemed

trolled and have our grievances settled by lot

p Dougherty. veteran knight of st. Crispin,
of Philadelphia. said: II was one of the COM
mittee appointed by District Assembly 70 (shoe-
makers), of Philadelphia, to wait upon the gen
eral executive board and endeavor to come to an
understanding on this matter. This was in
January last, and at that time the general
executive board told us to go on with our conven-
ton, and we should have a charter. 1t was well
understood at the time that none of our locals
would be compelled to have permission to with
draw from the present district. Since then some
hidden influence has been at work to get the
general board to reconsider its former action,
and last week the same committee from District
Assembly 20 were informed that they would
have to obtain at least ten locals. representing
five different States, with permission from their
district assembly to withdraw and organize their
national trades assembly. We are not children,
and do not deserve such treatment"
